Sorta excited about Oskar Sunqdvist. Great hockey name. Big, rangy, and fiesty as all-ghetto. He tore it up in Sweden last year. Might he be an outside shot for the 4th line? Probably needs to come over and play in the AHL for a while to adapt to the NA game.

I hope there is a fight to establish some much needed grit in this team although the majority of these guys won't see the NH for a few years. Even though he has played in the NHL, does Harry Z. still count as a prospect?

Also, what will the prospects do without the presence of the 25 year old eternal prospect Eric "Big Dog" Tangradi this summer?

This is a waste of time. What will the players learn? Penguins prefer signing veterans. They do not trust, nor invest in development. The signing of Scuderi proves that. This team has no patience for youth and keeps getting older. The prospect pool is very shallow. The oft mentioned defensive prospects, have not panned out.

I don't remember if they have an official ban on fighting at this thing, but if not, I think it is highly discouraged. The point of this camp is to get all of them in front of Penguins coaches and management and to give the prospects a glimpse of what being a pro in this organization is about. Most of these kids aren't even going to see NHL time this year, though Dumoulin and Harrington probably have better odds than most.

This is a time for the coaches to see the new guys and see what they bring. They also can see how some players matured over the past year. They meet nutrition specialist and strenght coaches. They coachs also go over the players goals for the next season. The on the ice stuff is a way to gage a players progress and their strenghts and weaknessess/

The unknown name that jumps off the page at me is Jean-Sebastien Dea. 45 goals in the Q last year really jumps off that page. Had a late growth spurt up to 6', but still hasn't grown into it as he's listed at 155. He went undrafted, so I believe he's a UFA and can sign anywhere. Attended Montreal's camp last season. Here's a draft profile:
